There isn't one

2019-11-09 00:28:45 UTC  

There's no such thing as a free market my dude.

All economies are planned.

2019-11-09 00:28:46 UTC  

Our economy is more communistic than China's

2019-11-09 00:29:07 UTC  

@Cataclysmo yeah, the US is a mixed economy, and it should be more capitalist.

2019-11-09 00:29:23 UTC  

Wat. Are you.... American?

2019-11-09 00:29:27 UTC  

Its an economy thats highly dependent on tax payer funding

2019-11-09 00:29:41 UTC  

All defense companies

2019-11-09 00:29:46 UTC  

majority of tech companies

2019-11-09 00:30:00 UTC  

and almost all of medical uses government funding as the majority of their income

2019-11-09 00:30:04 UTC  

Sure, but how is China better?

2019-11-09 00:30:19 UTC  

Kill everyone

2019-11-09 00:30:31 UTC  

sure thing, atf

2019-11-09 00:30:34 UTC  

They have a significantly more capitalistic economy within their borders than we do here and abroad

2019-11-09 00:30:46 UTC  

@Cataclysmo not really on the taxpayer part. It's heavily dependent on government subsidy, but that doesn't actually come from taxpayers.
Income tax and other taxes on citizens are just deflationary measures.

2019-11-09 00:30:51 UTC  

It's always an option

2019-11-09 00:30:57 UTC  

radical centrism

2019-11-09 00:31:04 UTC  

@tacticoolyourjets They still get funding from various laws and contracts

2019-11-09 00:31:33 UTC  

the subsidies just help

2019-11-09 00:31:52 UTC  

Defeatism is gay

2019-11-09 00:32:08 UTC  

fine...

2019-11-09 00:32:35 UTC  

Most medical companies are getting bux from medicare

2019-11-09 00:32:43 UTC  

and its gonna increase once all those boomers retire

2019-11-09 00:33:09 UTC  

and some of those companies all their income is from medicare patients

2019-11-09 00:33:18 UTC  

Courage isn't riding in when the odds are good, it's knowing everything sucks and saddling up anyway.

2019-11-09 00:33:29 UTC  

does anyone know of any zip panels will fit a 119

2019-11-09 00:33:35 UTC  

whereas the chinese dont give a fuck

2019-11-09 00:33:39 UTC  

Kill commies

2019-11-09 00:33:42 UTC  

@whip zip panels are proprietary

2019-11-09 00:33:49 UTC  

@tacticoolyourjets.....where do government subsidies come from, if not from taxpayers?

2019-11-09 00:34:53 UTC  

@Cataclysmoyeah but the government still controls the economy at will.

2019-11-09 00:34:55 UTC  

The government prints money bro

2019-11-09 00:35:20 UTC  

No they don't

2019-11-09 00:35:29 UTC  

cause that would mean the recession never wouldve happened

2019-11-09 00:35:34 UTC  

They are not running spread sheets tallying up how much money they are going to get from taxes in order to make their budget.

2019-11-09 00:37:00 UTC  

Check out Modern Monetary Theory. It's pretty interesting.

2019-11-09 00:37:40 UTC  

I'm pretty sure they know roughly how much money they'll get every year.

2019-11-09 00:41:02 UTC  

Yes, but like I said, that's deflationary. Money gets created, but if you just printed money forever that would hyperinflate and crash the economy. You have to pull money from circulation in order to keep the credit machine going, essentially.

2019-11-09 00:42:35 UTC  

The economy is built on a concept of unlimited growth.
If you didn't have taxes to force money out of the hands of the populace, you'd have hyperinflation. If there are no taxes, or lower taxes, most people save their money. That's bad news bears for the market.

2019-11-09 00:43:13 UTC  

Your state and local taxes do in fact fund things directly, I'm talking about federally.

2019-11-09 00:46:11 UTC  

They probably save because they're used to being taxed out the ass. And, so what? They weren't spending it before, why is it bad if they don't spend it now? And most importantly, why the fuck should anyone be allowed to force people to spend their money how they want it spent?

2019-11-09 00:47:25 UTC  

I don't disagree. This economy isn't build for the benefit of the people.
